These Istanbul Agop MS-X cymbals are a solid choice for marching bands and orchestras needing a clear, projecting sound. The B20 bronze gives them a touch of warmth, preventing them from being overly harsh, and the included straps make them ready to play right out of the box. They're a great value for serious marching percussionists.
